2. 1. Solarscape: The power of humanity in designing solar imaginaries, entangled worlds, and critical sustainable futures

   Author : Suzanna Törnroth; Åsa Wikberg-Nilsson; Andrea Luciani; Cindy Kohtala; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design; architecture; solar energy; sustainability; socio-technical transition; Design; Design;

   Abstract : Solarscape is a thesis on the phenomenology of the Solar – an experiential, relational, and critical approach to how humans and humanity world-with solar energy in its different forms and manifestations. Using solar panels as a central artefact of concern, I explore surrounding human and non-human relationships through situated individual and collaborative design practices: workshops, interviews, (auto)ethnography, to name a few.

4. 2. Energy Analysis of the Closed Greenhouse Concept : Towards a Sustainable Energy Pathway

   Author : Amir Vadiee; Viktoria Martin; Halime Paksoy; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal energy storage; closed greenhouse; energy analysis; energy management; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Abstract : The closed greenhouse is an innovative concept in sustainable energy management. The closed greenhouse can be considered as a large commercial solar building. In principle, it is designed to maximize the utilization of solar energy through seasonal storage. In a fully closed greenhouse, there are not any ventilation windows. READ MORE

5. 3. Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Photoswitches for Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage Systems

   Author : Maria Quant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solar fuels; Norbornadiene; Tetracyclooctane.; Quadricyclane; Energy storage and release; Solar energy; Photoswitches; Molecular solar thermal energy storage; Diels-Alder reaction; Bicyclooctadiene; Energy conversion;

   Abstract : To meet the future energy demands and handle climate changes, new sustainable energy sources must be developed. Over the last decades, great scientific progress on harvesting solar energy has been made, but storing the energy is still a challenge. READ MORE

6. 4. Energy Management in Large scale Solar Buildings : The Closed Greenhouse Concept

   Author : Amir Vadiee; Viktoria Martin; Philip Griffiths; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermal Energy Storage; Energy Saving; Thermoeconomic Assessment; Energy Management Scenario; Micro Climate Control; Solar Building; Closed Greenhouse; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Abstract : Sustainability has been at the centre of global attention for decades. One of the most challenging areas toward sustainability is the agricultural sector. Here, the commercial greenhouse is one of the most effective cultivation methods with a yield per cultivated area up to 10 times higher than for open land farming. READ MORE

7. 5. Solar District Heating for Low Energy Residential Areas : A Technical Analysis of Heat Distribution Concepts for a Solar Assisted District Heating System

   Author : Martin Andersen; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Engineering; Other Environmental Engineering; Energy Systems; District heating; simulation; renewable energy; solar thermal; 4DH; SHINE; SHINE;

   Abstract : The integration of a solar thermal system into a district heating network can be a cost-effective solution, especially for new low-energy residential areas. Because of this, many new small solar district heating systems are built at the same time as the buildings, allowing for a more holistic approach to the design and construction. READ MORE
